Salvia henryi, commonly known as Crimson Sage, is a deciduous perennial herb native to the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico, particularly found in semi-arid regions, scrublands, and along the edges of desert washes. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). The plant features vibrant red flowers that bloom in the summer, adding a splash of color to the garden landscape. The foliage is aromatic, with a distinctive sage scent that can be a delight in the garden.

Crimson Sage is valued for its drought tolerance and its ability to attract pollinators such as hummingbirds and bees. It is often used in xeriscaping, wildlife gardens, and as an ornamental border plant. For best growth, it requires full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. While it can tolerate low water conditions, moderate watering will encourage more lush growth and flowering. Crimson Sage is relatively low-maintenance, but it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
